can you tell a difference with boys yet?

this is a question we've been asked since decker john was only an infant.
we now have a strong definitive answer- YES!
while our daughter has always been busy, busy, busy, and energetic...
decker john has taken it to a while new level. pete summed it up when he explained that at 12 months decker john was trying things that in nearly 4 years of her life bright has never thought about.... most of them happen too fast and are too slightly dangerous and/or messy to get a picture of... playing in the grill cabinet, opening the oven door, taking out the floor air vents (and dropping stuff down them), lots of potty splashing, potty dunking including a cell phone, eating a variety of non-edible things.... these are the things that are quickly coming to mind- I'm sure there are MORE!

but he's fun! lots of fun! and sweet! sweet! the little guy is just finally beginning to play and entertain himself a bit... everybody's favorite, cabinet peek aboo!



same day, more trouble... i started the water and walked out to call Bright to come on for her bath... look who was ready to get in!

you took the words right out of my mouth! k does the same thing with our air vents! he's even fallen into one! he loves playing with the fireplace and IN the fireplace (if he could get fully in there). i've started a new tradition around here- keeping all the bathroom and a lot of the kitchen cabinets EMPTY. works for now. k loves to pull our dirty clothes out of each hamper and distribute throughout the house- plus any trash can. sorry for the book! love all the blogs!
